We need to know more details about your setup and lots of pictures because most of the nogs here are illiterate.

Re: leak or lag
 
do you have any exhaust leaks before the turbo. that will cause spool problems

no i have no exaust leaks at all i did in the downpipe but i welded it up the turbo spools and it sounds like it cant spool no more but im only getting 3psi at the im!

Does it have a recirculating BOV on the compressor housing?

no there is no recirculating bov i just took my charge pipe off and when you rev the car you feel air out of the pipe but keep it at a steady rev and the air tops when you rev higher you feel air again?

did you have to clock the turbo any? that might change the length in the wastegate arm thingy. i say throw a manual boost controller on, crank up the boost. if the boost goes up then back down then you got a leak!!! i got a leak too mine goes up to 10lbs then down to 7lbs.
